HanSword Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 >>the training methods make the fighter. I absolutely agree SS , but a lot of training method is determined by style . I completely agree. However, within certain styles, different methods are used. In sport styles, it's fairly consistent. In TMA styles, that's not always the case. that's why I separate the two. yes , that's right . this is why I am more drawn to and have greater respect for " sport styles " , because everything is transparent and open - it is fairly easy to define what methods it actually uses. whereas with a lot of TMAs , as you have said , the methods can vary wildy even within the same would be style and so does the quality , since usually the " extra " curiculla stuff cannot be field tested as it is not allowed in their competition rules . yet they try to be all things to all men . I'm sorry I don't understand that and I don't buy it either . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingyuan Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 In terms of pure strikes, I believe Muay Thai has no rival, the only weakness of Muay Thai is the lack of throws that those San Shou guys have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
